One of us… one of us… one of us… Congrats man. Stick through it, it is so much different then undergrad or gradschool. I have been told by a few PhD faculty now that the trick to finishing a PhD is mostly the ability to stick it out, and stay motivated. Also, super congrats on the full ride!! ---

Hope all is going well. All the guys at work miss their grad school days and schedule. Come in late, do research, leave whenever, come back whenever. Get a paycheck and free tuition. ---

Keep your nose to the grind Corey. You’ve been in school this long and you are excited to do something we could achieve a lot with as a species. so stay hard working and remember, if at any time you get frustrated, you could be just another college grad. without a job. ---

I guess it depends on the advisor and school. The guys at here are all imported from other states or countries. ---

very nice, do the damn thing. Once thing I’ve always been curious of though is how the efficiency of recharging batteries can maintain our currently travel abilities. While they would be high-use in urban areas, they seem difficult for longer commutes. Thinking of the current dynamic in recharging power, (pumping in fuel) how can that ease be maintained? The downtime of charging a car could be a downfall. What if instead of gas stations there were battery stations, and batteries were removable and interchangeable? charging stations would just pop in a new battery for you, and they wouldn’t need a huge amount of overhead as they could be charging the batteries they receive while distributing freshly charged ones. that way oil companies could jump on that bandwagon instead so they don’t lose their I’m-so-rich-I’ll-surpress-any-technology-that-threatens-it tact. I’m just blabbering, I’m sure these questions have been addressed. So I guess I’m looking for the current assessment in the battery community ---
